Simple API CDK + Serverless

This project defines a serverless API which handles a simple "hello world" endpoint as well as (most of) a CRUDL endpoint for a simple data object. The app is deployed via AWS CDK, which manages the infrastructure of the app so that you don't need to manually provision and manage resources.

Deploying

Prerequisites: an AWS account and a set of credentials registered via the AWS CLI tools.

In order to deploy the application, you'll need to run three steps:

yarn install will install any dependencies for the application.

yarn run cdk bootstrap will create resources used by CDK to deploy non-AWS resources (eg: function code, docker images, etc.) into AWS.

Once that's complete, yarn run cdk deploy will deploy the application based on the constructs defined in ./lib/simple_api-stack.ts.

Included

• API Gateway
• Lambda functions (Hello, CRUDL functions housed in ./src/lambdas)
• DynamoDB Table (for managing data for the CRUDL operations)
